Charming, clean hotel in the heart of stunning Vernazza BUT the first floor of the hotel is up 5 flights of stairs and most of the rooms are up another tiny, twisty flight of spiral stairs! Like on a ship! My boyfriend and i stayed two nights and we actually stayed in two different rooms (we booked them at different... more

About a 5 minute walk from the train staion, Albergo Barbara sits right on the main piazza of Vernazza. We stayed there the 23rd-25th of September and loved it. We paid up front, so we never had to give up our passports (not that we would have minded). The price was very reasonable for a town as expensive as Vernazza... more

My husband & I were disappointed with the owners' attitudes and actually, with the attitudes of the people of Vernazza, in general. The hotel owners appeared annoyed when we had questions regarding the area. The room was okay but the walls are thin and we could hear conversations in nearby rooms. Our room had a bath but others adjacent to... more

After travelling all day on three trains and finaly arriving very tired to find we lucked out with one of the back rooms. No circulation, pillows which were 2cms thick if that, towels the size of tea towels and made out of table cloth material, a noisy fan and thats the package. Yes they took our passports but we were... more

The hotel's location is right over the main, waterfront square of Vernazza. It could not have been more conveniently located. It was a bit of a walk (4 flights plus the spiral staircase) up to our room, but nothing unmanageable. The rooms were simple but clean. The owner was also helpful (with topo maps, etc) in pointing out various hiking... more

My first trip to Italy we spent a day in the Cinque Terre. When I decided to go back to Italy again I knew I would want to spend a few days in this beautiful area. I decided to make Vernazza our home base, because it was my favorite of the 5 small towns on the coast. We stayed at... more

I loved this place. We were in room #3 an attic room for 2 nights. Yes, the ceiling slanted but the windows opened up to a fantastic view of the harbor. We had a shared bath, but never had a problem sharing. If you don't want them to hold your passport then just pay for your rooms upfront. There are... more

There's nothing fancy about it but it was a great place to stay with the basic necessities for a couple nights in a fantastic little town. Come prepared for a small town Italian experience! There's no elevators (don't bring big bags!), there's no food or hotel chains here! We booked an attic room (#2) for 2 nights. Yes it had... more

We only stayed one night but could have stayed forever. Our room had the most incredible view of the harbor. Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing gently on the shore was the most relaxing and peaceful thing imaginable. The room was basic, but had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We were able... more
